Success Stories—Packing Materials Eric, Operations Manager, and Chris, President and CEO, of Superior Third Party Logistics. Using the Minnesota Materials Exchange allowed Superior Third Party Logistics in St. Paul to stretch its budget by receiving free bubble wrap and packing peanuts. The company needs a consistent supply of quality packaging materials to operate its warehouse and shipping business. Eric had used the Materials Exchange previously and thought the program could save the company money by finding good, usable items. Thanks to the Exchange, Superior now receives a truckload of peanuts and bubble wrap from EI Microcircuits every-other month. According to Roller, his company saves $500 a month by reusing these packing materials. EI Microcircuits, Mankato had listed several items with the Materials Exchange and was glad to find a recipient for its bubble wrap and peanuts.
